About Nuclear
Nuclear is an intelligent note-taking app built for students and self-learners who crave more from their notes. We combine AI with sleek design to turn raw text into editable, interactive study tools — including fill-in-the-blank exercises, adaptive quizzes, and instant Q&A through "Ask Nuclear."
We're a small, fast-moving team, and we're building tools that make learning personal, engaging, and efficient.
What You’ll Do
Develop and maintain front-end and back-end systems for the Nuclear web app.
Integrate AI features like Q&A, summarization, and dynamic quiz generation.
Collaborate with design to implement clean, responsive UIs that feel delightful and fast.
Optimize performance for real-time rendering and editing of large documents.
Write clean, testable code with good documentation and modularity.
Contribute ideas on feature design, UX flows, and technical strategy.
Tech Stack (You don’t need to know all of these)
Frontend: React, Tailwind CSS, Framer Motion
Backend: Node.js, Express
Database: PostgreSQL, Prisma
AI Layer: Sonar APIs, LangChain, Pinecone (or similar vector DB)
Dev Tools: GitHub, Vercel, Docker, Tailscale
Bonus: Experience with browser-based text editing (Slate.js, Lexical, or ProseMirror)
What We’re Looking For
Proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and modern frameworks (preferably React).
Experience building and deploying full-stack web applications.
Ability to turn product requirements into fast, maintainable code.
Interest in AI/LLMs and how they can reshape learning experiences.
A user-first mindset — you care about polish, usability, and performance.
Bonus: experience with education tools, Chrome extensions, or real-time apps.
Perks
Equity options — be part of the core team shaping Nuclear.
Flexible hours — async-first, minimal meetings.
Access to OpenAI credits and developer tools.
Creative freedom — your ideas are core to our product.
